The Pakistani Spectator

Let’s wander down the lanes of Kashmir which rocked to the tunes of the reverberating and scared mountains, whilst beneath them the earth was angered. Angered and filled with transgressions unpardonable.

Come October 8th and the fate of Kashmiris on this side was sealed away into ignoble and oblivious history. The 3 million displaced Pakistani Kashmiris, to this day, await the aid from the Government of Pakistan.
Come the Democratic government and they are not lent the voice and the shelter from the oncoming scorching and biting winters of the Northern Areas, which one finds soothing to the eyes but aren’t prayed for now.

Loads of aids, doctors, needles, injections, finances, tents, paraphernalia flowed in from every corner of the earth. Cuban doctors and mobile ambulances were on display, Israeli offer for medical aid, Indian offer for aid, the surplus amount of moneys flowing in from the staunchest of enemies but the 3 million people, to this day are displaced.

The Media hides it, as its no longer a money making, Ad generating commodity. The Government hides it to find yet another way into the Assembly. Once in, they are immortals and invincible.

The displaced of SWAT were numbered in millions upon departure. The return after the victories, the numbers are merely in thousands. Most of them linger still in squalor and squalid conditions of the refugee camps. A blind eye from the Democratic government, yet again.
The Government is busy to delay the by-elections. The respectable Government is busy compiling the agreement and endorsement of Kerry Luger bill. The Government is busy toiling to recollect the bills incurred from ‘Entertainment’ expenses abroad. The Government is always busy, not inside, always beyond the immigration counters.

Tehree e Insaf was pretty dot to the point to oppose the operation for such addition to the woes of the nation, which already is grappling with inflation, corruption, deviled either neighbours, insurgency in Balochistan which is to be deflowered with flowering and showering drone attacks, soon. PTI, pointed out correctly for not to have conducted the operation with this fashion which disclosed the expertise of Pakistan army in tormenting terrains to the Big Daddy, which is unwrapping the biscuits foiled and coiled in wrappers of gold, made by Uncle Sam and Kerry.

Rather, the operation could have been clandestine. Breaking into squads of 3 into 3000 which might have conducted, spontaneously, skirmishes without even disturbing the sensitive fabric of civilian formations.
But our intelligence, agencies, MI, ISI were either led into this quagmire deliberately with a carrot or a stick. Nonetheless, the army went away after washing it’s predecessor’s filth it donned all this while; not to mention the badges and silk medals too were exchanged.

But the displaced were left in the wild again. Left to see their children wandering who should have been studying in make shift schools by now. Left to see their siblings being kidnapped either by Kidney mafia or prostitution mafia. The circle gets re-invented again. But why the third world countries where lethargy and red tape impedes growth and empathy?

The Government isn’t qualified, ready, serious, confident enough to direct. It can be directed.

Next X mark is Balochistan, hope the fury is not unleashed blindly. The Baloch demand nothing but rights. The Mehsuds weren’t confided in too. The democratic circle is so mesmerised in Islamabad and Washington, it seems to be an asylum of the terminally ill and rich. And now the siblings are being bred for the biscuits.
